Flown

A couple of weeks ago, Ben and I went to watch a contemporary circus called Pirates of the Carabina, who describe themselves as a 'cutting-edge company of innovative British and international circus artists'. The troupe consists of acrobats, aerialists, stuntmen and also musicians, in fact the music was absolutely incredible, as were the performers!

Ever since I was a child I've been excited by the prospect of the circus, I used to love going to the Big Top and seeing the trapeze artists and Ringmaster...(despite the fact that I totally disagree with animal circuses and HATE clowns).....but anyway. Pirates of the Carabina are nothing like that; they're fast paced and skillful, and I was completely mesmerised for the whole show.

Both of us thought the show was great, and I would go and see it again in a heartbeat. It was just so interesting and different, I loved it. I think they're currently still on tour, next time they're back on these shores, I would recommend seeing them if you get the chance. Definitely a night out with a difference.

(one of my personal favourite parts of the show - this song was brilliant)
